    For usaginingen, the entry point into Teshima’s history was the illegal industrial waste problem. Learning about the former infant welfare facility ShinAiKan opened that view further back, to the island’s history as a place of welfare.<\/p>\n

    Many children once lived in this building. If someone who grew up here ever comes back looking for their roots, we want it to be a place with the light on, not a ruin.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Using ShinAiKan became the starting point for forming Teshima GROW together with other child-raising families on the island, and we have kept running and repairing the building ever since.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

      Scenes of Gathering<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

      At ShinAiKan, we regularly host the Kodomo Otona Shokudo (a community dining event for children and adults) and Teshinema Club. We invite chefs to cook and share meals together, and gather to watch films. Food and film bring a wide range of people to this place.<\/p>\n

      Once a year, we also organise Setouchi Merry Go Round, a handmade festival we create for our own enjoyment. Centred on the theme of \u201cturning,\u201d it brings together local traditions, everyday activities, and the different forms of expression each participant brings.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
